Suits

While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross, a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City’s best legal closers, Harvey Specter. Tired of cookie-cutter law school grads, Harvey takes a gamble by hiring Mike on the spot after he recognizes his raw talent and photographic memory. Mike and Harvey are a winning team. Even though Mike is a genius, he still has a lot to learn about law. And while Harvey may seem like an emotionless, cold-blooded shark, Mike’s sympathy and concern for their cases and clients will help remind Harvey why he went into law in the first place. Mike’s other allies in the office include the firm’s best paralegal Rachel and Harvey’s no-nonsense assistant Donna to help him serve justice. Proving to be an irrepressible duo and invaluable to the practice, Mike and Harvey must keep their secret from everyone including managing partner Jessica and Harvey’s arch nemesis Louis…

Harvey and Louis take a drive to aid an out-?-of-?-town client to whom they both have deep ties; and Harvey uses the opportunity to force a confrontation between Louis and Mike about their trust issues. Meanwhile, in a flashback, we discover the root of Harvey and Louis?s competitive relationship in their early days at the firm. And Mike first learns the limitations of his genius when it comes to the law.

Harvard ethics professor Henry Gerard seeks Harvey?s help with a case that requires a lack of ethics to win. Mike, meanwhile, does his best to not be spotted by the professor, whose class he never took; and Louis tries to wine and dine a socialite CEO.

Gabriel Macht directs the Season 4 mid-season premiere, which finds Louis gaining leverage in his quest to become a name partner of the firm; and the Pearson Specter team dealing with the fallout of Louis learning Mike’s secret.

The episode begins the morning after last week’s “We’re Done.” Rachel is crashing on Donna’s couch and she’s scared about facing Mike at the firm once again. She wants to be close to him, but Donna accurately points out “things will turn out the way they’re supposed to.” Pulling Mike in will only push him further away.

Donna reveals she slept with Harvey and while she wanted to try a relationship with him, she knew not to push the envelope with him for risk of losing him entirely. Later in the episode, she tells Harvey she’s going on a date, and while he jokes, we’re not surprised to see a flash of something more ? maybe jealously? ? pass over his face….
